        "question": "Which cities in Maryland can I fly to directly or with one stop from Atlanta?",
        "answer": "From Atlanta you can fly non-stop to Baltimore/Washington International (BWI), which serves the Baltimore area and the broader Washington, D.C. region. There are typically no direct flights to smaller Maryland airports like Salisbury or Hagerstown; those require a connection, often through Charlotte or Philadelphia. Most travelers choose BWI for its convenience and proximity to both Baltimore and D.C., while other airports are only practical for specific local destinations."

      "q6": {
        "question": "What are the most popular areas to visit in Maryland and how does that affect where I should fly?",
        "answer": "In Maryland, Baltimore draws visitors for its Inner Harbor and museums, Annapolis for sailing history and the Naval Academy, Ocean City for beaches and boardwalks, and western Maryland for mountains and lakes. Fly into Baltimore-Washington International for Baltimore and Annapolis, Salisbury Regional for Ocean City, or Hagerstown Regional for the west."
      },
      "q8": {
